>Description:
A field in an inner class can be static if it is final.
The following should compile, but doesn't:

public class A {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println(B.Hello.WORLD);
    }
}

class B {
    class Hello {
        public static final String WORLD = "Hello World!";
    }
}

Compiling with gjc --main=A A.java gives:

A.java:9: Field `WORLD' can't be static in innerclass `B$Hello'. Only members of interfaces and top-level classes can be static.
        public static final String WORLD = "Hello World!";
                                   ^
